A park that was on the brink of permanent closure from vandalism is to reopen thanks to a £38,000 investment.
The play area on the corner of Carnarvon Grove and Foxhill Road, Carlton will be re-opened by the Mayor of Gedling, Councillor Sandra Barnes, on Monday, November 25, at 2pm.
School children from Carlton Central Academy will be attending the opening to try out the new equipment.
The park closed in July following a spate of vandalism that left it too dangerous to stay open.
A decision to close the park indefinitely on health and safety grounds was made and discussions took place about the future of the park.
Gedling Borough Council has invested the £38,000 to improve the park.
The old wooden equipment has been replaced by solid steel metal materials.
The new play area includes new swings, climbing frame, slide, roundabout, rocking horse and a new bench and rubber surfacing.
The Mayor of Gedling, Councillor Sandra Barnes said: “I’m delighted to be opening the refurbished play area, it’s great that the park has been saved and that the local school children have somewhere to play locally.
"We listened to the residents and made a decision to invest in the park and provide new equipment which will secure the long term future of the park.”
